[CP2K-user] Initalization costs too much time in CeO2 AIMD calculation

[Hedley Dong]

  Thanks for your reply,  Marcella. 
I have found a solution. Once I change coordination input file into .xyz 
rather than .pdb, the initalzation time decreases a lot. I didn't know why, 
but it works.
Output file is attached, it may provide more information.
